What type of pain relief did you have after your c-section?

[little sprocket]

I had morphine (very very very ichy) then voltaren. I wanted more cos i was in a bit more pain than the last one but the OB would forget to write it up and the nurses would have to chase him down to come and sign off on it so in the end I gave up and went home. I had a real bad time with wind pain too. Dunno how to combate that.

Hmm... Depends on what is happening after the baby is born. In my case, my DS needed an operation immediatley after birth. He was in NICU for 16 days and was born via emergency c/s. I was going to be induced at 37wks, but he decided to come even earlier at 36.2wks.

So in my situation he was on a different floor in the hospital, and without pain relief I would have not seen him. My only concern was for my baby and I insisted on getting up and going to him within 11 hours, the time you are expected to wait post (spinal) c/s. In all honesty I never considered the way I felt, I did not sleep or sit still for those first 16 days, I just did what I needed to do and I had recovered by the time it got to sink in really.

How many days do you think you will be in the hospital?

Oh basically I accepted every form of pain relief and insisted on more if I needed it!

nothing against you, but I too had to walk to seperate building up 3 floors I was walking to him within 15hrs but had been up at 8hrs in a wheelchair to see Jack in SC and as I said it really depends on what sought of pain dont expect the worst as I said earlier I only took

wow i must have been lucky I had panadol every 6 hours and 3 nurofen a day only cause the nurses gave them to me, and I had to walk a long way to SC nursery to see Jack I continued with the nurofen till we got home as we had to go from townsville to moura (10hr + drive)
